    And the guy’s mindset is it’s flowers, that go in a vase.

    What’s in her head isn’t in the head of the delivery guy (and we have no idea what’s in the head of the boyfriend that sent them).

    Furthermore, if that’s what she thinks, that’s all on her. Her thoughts are hers, no one else’s. Only she controls what she thinks (like all of us). And before you say “her boyfriend made her think that” :

    1. We have zero evidence of the boyfriend’s behaviour from this comic, that would be a strawman.

    2. Regardless of his behaviour, if she didn’t like it, she should dump his ass.

    I don’t know a single woman who thinks like this (probably because I don’t keep people like this in my life). If you (the royal you) let other people determine how you think or feel, only you are responsible for permitting that. This is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy step 1.

    Also, it’s a joke… About how all of us operate from assumptions that we’d be well served to revisit and reconcile with what others actually think .

    Ya’ all are pretty uptight.





  • Change Windows. You can’t take shit down during the work day.

    Everywhere I’ve worked (many very large companies, banks, telecom, outsourced IT, etc) teams have coverage schedules, so I suspect this article is misleading.

    Someone has to mind things 24/7, this is done via scheduling.

    And the more critical you are, the more on-call you are. I had one role where I was on call 24/7. Things rarely broke enough for me to be called, but I never once resented when I was called. I’d rather get woken up at 2am because my help is needed than have the risk that our systems aren’t ready for the day.




  • Professional self-hosting was the way it was done until SaaS took off over the last 20 years - we just never called it that, because it was the only way to do things at the time.

    Now we say things like Cloud or On-Premise. And as another commenter proposed, call it “Private Cloud” to sound fancy (wel, it’s not the same thing, but it sure sounds good!).

    To my thinking, self-hosting means consumer-level hosting of services for a person, family, friends, generally at home, with VPS as an alternative server host.
